AAAAAHHHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
And, hey! Fellow Canuck!
When I was filling out the prompt request, this was the exact natural phenomenon I was thinking of. I missed the wild show in early November because I slept through it. I'm still smarting over that! Now we may get a repeat performance but it's been -40 all week. I think I'm a bit further north than you, so we see them fairly regularly, but man it gets too cold some days.
It was quite sombre, but it worked well with the fic.
Thank you for sharing this
